At the end of 2015 the Swedish transportation agency launched their
statistics about the most common way Swedish citizens lost their driving
license in that year. In the twelve month period, 34,726 persons got their
driver’s license withdrawn and that is an increase of 1,1% compared to the
statistics of 2014
The most normal way to get your driver license withdrawn according to
the Swedish transportation agency is speeding and this is a problem that is
growing every year.
There is one category that has grown drastically, with a raise of 34,2%
compared to the 2014´s statistic, and that is repeating smaller rule
violations.
Withdrawn driving licenses is raising every year, same with the
population of Sweden but the growing of the both factors does not even up with
each other.
The three biggest causes of withdrawn driving licensees in 2015 is
according to the Swedish newspaper Expressen:
Speeding: 18 795
Drunk driving: 6 609
Medical grounds: 4 318
You can still see that drunk driving is not dropping in the statistics
even if the police is trying actively to decrease this crime. This category of
crime has a raise of 2,6%.
Withdrawn driving license is not an actual punishment, like
imprisonment. It is a way to show you that you have abused a permission to
drive a vehicle. Although you can get fined, which is a punishment combined
with a withdrawn driving license.
